to Laithwaite's proposal that, as a copy of your letter is going to Fowle by this week's
air mail, it will be covered by the present instruction in the draft telegram that all
the correspondence should be shown to the Political Agent A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency. at Kuwait, and that there
fore the addition to the draft private and personal telegram to Fowle proposed by
the War Office, need not be made.
3. We here are anxious that this draft telegram, the sense of which was agreed
with some difficulty, should go as it stands, and that no specific reference should be
made to one particular point in the interdepartmental correspondence. It seems to
us that the War Office's object will be completely achieved if we proceed as Laithwaite
proposes.

and Starling.
